First, I will write a general impression for those who are too lazy to read: the hotel is not bad, but I don’t want to go there a second time.
And so in order.
The purpose of visiting this institution is to get 6 days of relaxation through vegetable rest without leaving the hotel, the sea, the pool and sleeping in the room. T. s. maximum recreational in minimum time.
No luck with arrivals and departures. We started there at 18:35, checked in after midnight, and back check-out was 5:20, departure 9:10 and the declared 8 days / 7 nights turned into 6 days / 7 nights. However, they themselves are to blame, they bought the tour in the last minutes.


Operator - Pegasus tourist. He coped with his tasks satisfactorily - that is, for a C grade. Met, taken, brought, planted and sent. But, there are nuances. At the airport, a bus loaded with tourists waited 40 minutes. I was just waiting, not for someone, but for something . . The guide looked at his watch, waved his hand and said "Let's go" on the way, there was already a stop on the outskirts of Beldibi...
in a store at a gas station, so that tourists can buy something for themselves ...A stop for "15 minutes" of Turkish time is about 30 minutes in our opinion.
Tourists got all sorts of drinks for themselves, ice cream for children, etc. The guide received his%% from purchases and, not embarrassed by the tourists on the bus, counted it and shared it with the driver. On the way back it was something similar, only on the way back 15 minutes of Turkish time equals 45 minutes of ours.

We arrived at the hotel after midnight, so it was not possible to drink AI beer at the beginning of the holiday. Although, if it were not for the waiting at the airport and this stop, they would have been at 11 pm.
At the reception I put $20 in order to give a good number. They said that now there is no room, but it will be in the morning and they offered a temporary suite with an excellent view of the Antalya-Kemer highway. In it, I realized that it was good that I put $20.
In addition to such a chic view, the room, thanks to its soundproofing, allowed us to enjoy not only the noise of passing cars, but also the hotel disco.
As promised in the morning they moved to another room. However, they removed it only after dinner and a triple reminder.

The mini-bar fridge in the room was empty and did not freeze well. Water, if necessary, can be taken in the room, but only the tour operator's guide speaks about this, hotel employees do not advertise this prepaid service.
The air conditioner is individual and good. I like this better than central air conditioning.
Hot water is spoken in Turkish - with the help of tanks on the roof and the sun. Accordingly, at 2 am it is no different from the cold. Day 1 was overcast - the water was barely warm all day. Although, in general, 5 * suggest hot water around the clock, that is, their own boiler room.

Territory.

The hotel has 2 territories on the 1st and 2nd lines across the road, connected by an underground passage. The fact that on the 1st line, judging by external data, was once a 3 * or 3 * + hotel and was called Pine. The old area is small and neglected. 2 small pools, 1 of which is dry, and the other is all gouging. The beach - small, neglected and dirty - was cleaned there carelessly and at 9-10 in the morning, when all the vacationers were on the beach.
I must say that the hotel was mostly inhabited by Russian and Ukrainian tourists - this is an important nuance; ) the fact is that they occupy 2 sunbeds in front of the pool, 2 sunbeds on the beach, and they themselves go on an excursion all day, so there are few people on the beach and by the pool, but there are no free places.
The beach is stone, not pebbly, namely stone boulders 20-30 centimeters in diameter, 2 wooden ladders, and a pier, from which most of them swam.

The sea is Kemeri clean. However, where our tourists are, it cannot be clean there - gobies, disposable cups swim during the day ..
Used condoms float in shoals in the morning.
There is no territory in the new territory. Hotel, swimming pool with slides and fence - everything. The stairs in the pools are broken.

Meals are standard Turkish, without problems. You won't die of hunger, but you won't remember anything good. Alas, now 5 * hotels allow cooked semi-finished products in the restaurant. If you come with a child under 3 years old, then there may be problems with his food. Drinks are served centrally at the bar.
In the restaurant bar and lobby bar, the glasses are normal, but in the pool and beach bars they pour them into plastic ones - somehow not according to the five-star.

Animation in the hotel is strange. We were not pushed. However, I think that Petrosyan's fans will like it.

A man from Water Sport was walking along the beach calling for his entertainment. We wanted a boat trip ...2 times we wanted to and 2 times he apologized that there was no boat.

The most unpleasant thing: if the return flight is late, then at 12:00 they will ask not only to vacate the room, but also cut off the bracelet. And along the beach, at the pools in the restaurant and in the bars, security guards go to take unringed tourists out - the hotel prohibits using ALL its services after 12:00 on the day of departure. There is also no left-luggage office - put things at the reception. So the tourists are left behind only to sour in the hotel lobby.

Tipping in the room was regularly left. On 1 out of 6 days the maid didn't show up at all, the tip dollar was left untouched. And on the last day, she took a dollar, but did not consider it necessary to clean the room. We put up a sign asking for the room to be cleaned. Upon return, the room was removed. There was a little less than half a bottle of duty-free liquor in the refrigerator ...it was ...but it was on the bottom. The room smelled of perfume, which the wife did not suffocate, and obviously someone had rummaged in her cosmetic bag. Nothing is missing, but damn it ...this is not the case !!!

In general, the goal has been achieved.
The hotel on a five-point system 3 - satisfactory. Only the size of the room and the main pool with slides draw 5 *, the food is 4 *, the territory is 3 *, the service is somewhere between 3 and 4 *.
